that between February Il and 10, 1876
Pollock & Bailey, Bells patent attorneys,
in consequence of the guilty knowledge
which they had Of the contents OF Gray s
caveat, imported an important invention
and a claim therefor into Bells specitica-

taken to England for the pur-
purpose Of obtaining a patent there; and

alterations and interlineations. as the next

attempt to show that such changes as had
been made in Prof. Bells specifications
after the George Brown copy had been
sent to England were changes which he
had a perfect legal right to make; that they
were made in due time, and that they had
no relation whatever to the Gray caveat,
